Galapagos Cruise Experts

Knowing travel in the Galapagos Islands means understanding the cruises and the ships they operate on. We have completed countless hours of ships tours and lodge visits and have sailed on several of the best known Galapagos vessels. We know the companies, the naturalist staff and, most importantly, we offer you decades of experience in planning travel in the famed archipelago and in mainland Ecuador.

How We Explore Galapagos

Most Galapagos visitors witness the vast array of endemic wildlife via 5 to 8 day all-inclusive small ship cruises, the most efficient way to see the most species and landscapes. Lodges combine boat day trips and activities but lack the reach of the ships to access the best, most remote sites.
